From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

I'm not sure, but i wouldn't be surprised if they have a dpkg-reconfigure script for window manager (desktop environment) switching.
But even if not, it's no trouble at all. You can have multiple DE at the same time. Your display manager (login mask) should let you switch between them.
And yeah, packages are named gtk--theme in Arch, i think it was similiar in Debian. Then change via xfce4-appearance-settings ("Appearance" in menu). Or just download and drop a theme in ~/.local/share/themes, as long as it is a gtk-theme. Though for window borders, it needs a folder "xfwm4" in it.
Here's a bunch of themes.
